Allister is a Gym Leader in the Galar region, who specializes in ghost-type Pokémon. He only appears in Pokémon Shield - in Pokémon Sword, the Gym Leader Bea takes his place.

Appearance[]

Allister is a young boy with pale skin and purple eyes. His black hair is fairly short, but with a few long strands in the front and a long curved cowlick at the back. On his face is a white mask with large holes for his eyes and mouth with motifs that looks similar to Corsola's motifs on the sides. His outfit consists of a long-sleeved black shirt and shorts. Around the ends of the sleeves are rings of light purple— a pair on each one, and on the right sleeve is the Galar league symbol. His shirt has a purple and gold upside-down triangle on the front with a black and gold spirit-like shape in the middle. This same symbol also re-appears on his right pant leg. Around the neck of the shirt are two light purple collar folds. His shorts and shirt share a light purple dot-like pattern, and on the left pant leg are two symbols — the numbers "291" and green Xs. Extending from Allister's upper waist to his shoulders are two white suspenders, reuniting behind him in a Cursola's face intersection and on his left hand is a purple glove with black fingertips. On his feet are white and black shoes with ruffles on the top.

Personality[]

In spite of being entitled as a Gym Leader at his young age, Allister is exceedingly introverted, shy, soft-spoken and bashful, hence always wearing a mask to conceal his face when he's around other people. He prefers spending his time alone in ruins and cemeteries, rather than making public appearances.

Etymology[]

Allister's name is a reference to the British novelist and occultist Aleister Crowley.

His Japanese name is based on onion, the commonly known edible swollen bulb plant. It also contains 鬼 (oni, ghost or demon), and onions are related to garlic, believed to be able to repel or damage vampires.

Regular League Card[]

Allister League Card

Allister's regular League Card.

He is a young, mysterious Trainer who has taken on the mantle of Gym Leader at a very young age. He has never been known to remove his mask in public. In fact, he has at least one hundred masks of the same design, just to keep spares handy should his mask fall off for some reason. He claims to have developed the ability to see deceased Ghost-type Pokémon after an accident he had when he was four years old, but the truth is still a mystery.


Rare League Card[]

Allister Rare League Card

Allister's rare League Card.

This is a photo that happened to capture Allister in his locker room. He can be seen clutching the mask that normally hides his face, no doubt confronting the fears and insecurities he feels within. Even though he has taken the role of Gym Leader at a very young age, it is clear that off the pitch he is still very much a normal boy. However, one mystery remains—nobody knows who took this photo. Some even claim it was the work of Ghost-type Pokémon.
